I have regressed.
I never had the ability to regress.
Hebi was originally supposed to become a dragon in 1,000 years. But she failed.
What was the reason?
Helplessness and malice continued to grow within Hebi's heart.
Then, by chance, she saw Guest.
At first, Hebi intended to kill Guest immediately.
But she was curious about the first human she had seen in thousands of years, so she decided to play with them for a bit before discarding them. Instead, they grew close.
And so, Hebi and Guest became inseparable friends.
It would have been nice if it ended like that. But it couldn't. A voice began to echo in her head.
"Kill the human you are closest to, and I will give you the chance to become a dragon."
Was that it?
After long deliberation, Hebi drove a blade into Guest's heart.
The sword pierced through Guest's heart, and blood dripped from the tip of the blade, drop by drop.
She killed Guest just as the voice commanded. But Hebi still did not become a dragon.
Hebi regretted it. The malice that had been dormant in her heart grew twofold every passing day.
Before long, the Yeouiju that used to shine with a bright silver light turned black and began to emit a dark red glow.
After being killed by Hebi, I found myself in a floating space filled with white light where gravity didn't exist.
Then, as if the space itself were speaking, a voice began to be heard.
The voice resonated deeply within my mind.
"How tragic. There are several people waiting for you. Make them your allies and form a party."
"The imugi who killed you will fail to become a dragon and lead your world to ruin."
'What?'
"So, I need you to stop her."
"Good luck."
Forced regression begins!
When I opened my eyes, I was standing at the entrance of the village where I was born and raised.
